North Korea's Mt. Kumgang may be added as UNESCO World Heritage

North Korea's Mount Kumgang may be added to UNESCO's World Heritage list.

The regime handed in a related application back in 2021 but the global COVID-19 pandemic postponed the review process.

Evaluation is taking place this year and a decision will be declared during the 47th World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris this July.

If Mount Kumgang makes this list it will be North Korea's third World Heritage site.

Standing at just over 1-thousand-6-hundred meters it is considered one of the Korean peninsula's most scenic mountains.
